Talaaq

Husband telling the wife "It's over"

Q: On the 9th of December my husband told me its over over whatsapp but after that we slept together and told me he didn't mean what he said and then again he told me "I'm done" and again over whatsapp that was on the 3rd of January and then my mum asked him are you and my daughter finished now, so he said yes. Does this mean we are divorced or not?

Husband telling the wife "tala"

Q: I wish to mention that +-10 years ago my wife and myself had an argument  and during that argument she claims that I had verbally mentioned talaq 3 times to her. I did not mention that but said, tala tala tila. Both of us engaged with her family regarding this matter. They accepted and said we can carry on living together. During that time we had a baby girl who is currently 7 years of age, and my eldest then who is now 15. We worked together in building our family, invested in property and together furnished a new home. We also travelled abroad and shared family vacations together. Only until recently due to our current issues the talaaq matter came up for no reason. Kindly revert with feedback if the marriage is valid or not?

Divorce in anger

Q: My question is about divorce. Me and my wife had a fight about 8 months ago and she was continuously asking for divorce at that very moment. We were both very angry. I told her ok I give you divorce and included both my and her name when I said it. Then she asked me to move out. I moved out of the house next day and have lived away from her ever since. During the last 8 months we have spoken so many times and we have been wanting to get back together. But we had fights also over the last 8 months. So my question is when I told her that I divorce you but moved out of the house next day and didn't spend 3 months with her under the same roof, is the divorce valid or not? Also when I said it we were both in anger and fighting.

Talaaq of a non-Muslim court

Q: I live in France. I demanded divorce in court because my husband does not want a divorce, he didn't came to legal summons. After one year and eight months, the judge has pronounced the divorce. I want to know is the divorce valid in Islam? Knowing that I live in France a non-Muslim country and non-Muslim countries judge, and my husband never came in front of me or the court? We did the marriage in Pakistan but with France permission because he comes from Pakistan and me from France but we lived in France. For how long is my time of idatt if divorce is valid?

Talaaq over watsapp

Q: I'm a young 27 year old divorced mother of 4 daughters. Last year December I got remarried to my second husband. He is 24 year old never married and of purity a virgin, he was with me for a week, a week after he left we fought and I landed in ICU for pseudo seizures due to depression and a week after that he divorced me while I was in ICU. I was admitted for shock, depression and post traumatic stress disorder. We had debates because his parents disapproved of him wanting to marry a gal with 4 kids, we debated his coming back and standing up for himself and his wife, which is me. I explained that one shouldn't be nasty to ones parents, but explain in a nice way, because there is no valid reason of disapproval, and nikaah had already taken place, now what I wanted to know is if how talaq was done is right or wrong? It was done over watsapp all were done for no valid reasons, like when I asked to leave me alone in hospital, I was just crying and crying, he gave a 2nd talaaq for that over watsapp. Is it a proper way to give talaaq or not?

Telling the wife " here is your car keys and your house keys, bye bye"

Q: Please help. Me and my wife had an argument and I have said to her "here is your car keys and your house keys bye bye" meaning I left you. I think I was just angry and wanted to punish her or make her worried and I don't really know what my intention was when I said these words. I left the house but came back after 20 minutes when my anger was gone and we said sorry to each other and continued normal, and we never had anything like that again. I don't think I was ready to divorce her but I was angry with her and I am having doubts of my intentions when I said these words. Am I just confused? This happened 8 months ago and now she is pregnant. Please help having known these words could be considered divorce I am 100% sure I wouldn't have said it. I love my wife and I think the reason why I said these words is because I wanted her to stop this arguments I think, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to divorce her maybe I was treating her or something, I really can't remember what was going through my head but I wouldn't give her talaq maybe I was just angry and wanted to make her afraid. But I didn't think I wanted to leave her for good that's one thing I am sure of. What is my situation brother? Is she still my wife? I wrote to Islamic Sharia council uk and this is what they said (These words without clear and firm intention of divorce, will not constitute an Islamic Divorce.) Is this correct because if this is correct my intention was not firm for divorce. Brother when I said these words to her if she would have said to me at that time "give me a talaq " I would have said to her NO, so brother do you think I was treating her but didn't want to divorce her judging by my first sentence?

Can an ex-husband force his ex-wife to remarry him

Q: A person tried to save their marriage and it resulted in one talaaq and the marriage is over due to iddat period being complete. However the husband insists that the wife should remarry him but doesn't want to acknowledge that he has a drug problem. Therefore no help or efforts to reform him can be made. The wife has no intention to reconcile because of this. There are kids from the marriage as well. Is she sinful in anyway? Can society blame her for not going back because she has kids? Please advise.
